Closing Fantasy is a sequence that’s been recognized for its epic summons, god-like entities who’ll help you in battle. Rebirth introduces plenty of classics who you’ll be able to purchase by defeating them in Chadley’s fight simulator. One in all which is Odin, who’s notoriously capable of swiftly finish fights with only one assault. Fittingly, he can do that to your get together once you attempt to defeat him in an effort to declare his summon materia.
Not solely is Odin able to ending a combat instantly along with his Zantetsuken assault, he’s additionally actually robust and may simply take out your get together in the event you’re not cautious. Fortuitously, there’s a clear technique to besting him. Let’s go over it right here.
For the love of the Planet, don’t combat Odin at full energy
To cite OG Barret, “don’t go getting your spikey ass harm.” There’s actually no good purpose to combat any summon, not to mention Odin, at full energy apart from trophy-less bragging rights. Ensure you scan all of the summon crystals in a summon’s given area (Nibel in Odin’s case ) to weaken it in Chadley’s battle simulator.
He likes ache, so give it to him
Odin places up a tricky combat. However even in the event you’re correctly leveled and specced out, there are different points with this maniac: He’ll simply get bored of you in the event you don’t thrill him. In line with his Assess menu, you’ll have to hit him with ATB assaults, forged debuffs on him, and evade his assaults to please him. Take an excessive amount of injury in your finish and he’ll finish the battle with Gjallarhorn’s Warning adopted by the match-ending Zantetsuken transfer.
Odin is nasty up shut and may simply knock a personality again, which is able to notably cancel out an ATB potential in the event you’re not cautious. Ranged fighters are helpful right here. Barret and Yuffie, and notably Yuffie in my view, are wonderful for this combat. Remember to make use of Yuffie’s elemental ninjutsu assaults, in addition to her Artwork of Struggle talents to go in shut, and doppelganger. Aerith is value contemplating too, notably together with her Radiant Ward and Arcane Ward talents energetic.
Ranged fighters also can elevate their ATB sufficiently at a distance. In case you’re like me and you favor to depend on Synergy Expertise to boost your ATB, melee strikes like Spell Blade and Energy Cleave are powerful to land (particularly Energy Cleave as you have to be nearer). Depend on ranged Synergy Expertise, however ensure you’re popping ATB talents as rapidly as you’ll be able to.
Be swift with dodges and debuffs
In case you’re going to go in for melee strikes, choose a personality you’re comfy blocking, parrying, and dodging with. I like Tifa because of this as I discover her sufficiently speedy together with her evasive slide. You must also have debuffs like Deprotect and Deshell able to rock as they’ll maintain Odin engaged within the combat and fewer prone to pop Zantetsuken.
Be able to die, most likely
In case you see Odin activate Gjallarhorn’s Warning, you’re most likely screwed, however the state of affairs just isn’t completely FUBAR. You can use this as a chance to unleash a full out onslaught of ATB assaults in the event you’re prepared. However in the event you’ve been taking a beating and really feel such as you’re not getting any hits on our ominous horse-rider, simply go forward and restart the battle.
Nonetheless, even in the event you’re at max degree and have nice materia, Odin can simply chew by means of hit factors even on his lowest issue. My private follow is to equip each character with materia for Treatment and Elevate throughout the entire sport. Meaning each character can swiftly shift into healer mode if issues get dire. If that’s not your fashion, remember to shield the characters who’ve therapeutic and restorative materia geared up. You very nicely may have it.
All of that stated, the extra injury you tackle, the extra doubtless Odin is to finish the combat early, so attempt to minimize down on how a lot you’re getting hit as a lot as doable.
Odin’s a tricky combat, however his materia is nicely well worth the effort as he’s very robust in battle and can give whichever character he’s geared up to some good stat boosts.
